- Synthesis of Long-Chain n-Alkylphosphonic Acids by Phosphonylation of Alkyl Bromides with Red Phosphorus and Superbase under Micellar/Phase Transfer Catalysis
-
Long-chain n-Alkylphosphonic acids, AlkP(O)(OH)2, are synthesized in up to 91 % yield (mostly 40–60 %) by straightforward phosphonylation of alkyl bromides (AlkBr, Alk=C4–C18) with red phosphorus (Pn) in the multiphase KOH/H2O/toluene system in the presence of 2–10 mol % of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), acting as a micellar/phase transfer catalyst and as a generator/transporter of superbasic hydroxide anions, the intermediate potassium phosphinates being in situ oxidized/neutralized by nitric acid. The key steps of the phosphonylation mechanism are the P?P bond cleavage of Pn polymeric molecules by superbasic ?OH anions, dissolved in the CTAB micelles, and phase transfer of polyphosphide anions to the organic phase and their alkylation with AlkBr.

- Synthesis of Phosphonic Acid Ligands for Nanocrystal Surface Functionalization and Solution Processed Memristors
-
Here, we synthesized 2-ethylhexyl, 2-hexyldecyl, 2-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl, oleyl, and n-octadecyl phosphonic acid and used them to functionalize CdSe and HfO2 nanocrystals. In contrast to branched carboxylic acids, postsynthetic surface functionalization of CdSe and HfO2 nanocrystals was readily achieved with branched phosphonic acids. Phosphonic acid capped HfO2 nanocrystals were subsequently evaluated as memristors using conductive atomic force microscopy. We found that 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid is a superior ligand, combining a high colloidal stability with a compact ligand shell that results in a record-low operating voltage that is promising for application in flexible electronics.

- High yield synthesis of some phosphonic acid derivatives as surface tethers for energy harvesting technologies
-
Efficient synthesis of novel 6-(2-bromo-2-methyl propanoyloxy)hexyl phosphonic acid, dodecane di-phosphonic acid, 6-(thiophene-3-carbonyloxy)hexyl phosphonic acid, octadecyl phosphonic acid and such other derivatives are reported here. These derivatives have a potential application as tethers to nanoparticle surfaces that can promote efficient electron transfer process in solar energy conversion.

- Synthesis and structural study of long-chain hydrocarbon alkylphosphonic acids
-
Long-chain dialkyl alkylphosphonates were synthesized by radical addition of dialkyl hydrogenphosphonates onto alkenes in presence of di(t-butyl) peroxide. This synthetic route leads to high yields between 94 and 97%. We performed chemical modifications of these phosphonates in order to obtain acidic derivatives. The structure of these compounds was characterized by NMR analyses and mass spectroscopy. We also studied their thermal behaviour and various crystalline phases were put in evidence by differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy. The thermal stability of these compounds was compared by thermogravimetric analyses.
